The Challenge of Democracy

The Challenge of Democracy

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

The Brief Edition retains the popular themes of the full length text: the conflicting values of freedom, order, and equality, and the majoritarianism vs. pluralism debate. New to this edition is greater attention to globalization; thorough coverage of recent political events, including the 2002 election; George W. Bush's presidency; and the "War on Terrorism."

To enhance student learning and aid instructors, a complete technology package includes HM Testing; companion web sites; Political SourceNet, a database of topics that includes each branch of government, primary source documents, exercises, and web links; and IDEAlog, the award winning software that allows students to analyze voter attitudes and behavior by cross-tabulating survey data from presidential and Congressional elections

• New! Can You Explain Why? marginal features challenge students to use critical-thinking skills to explain a paradoxical situation, such as why Americans, more than other people, engage in most forms of political participation except voting.
• New! Politics in a Changing World features appear in half the chapters and focus on globalization by discussing how American politics affects the world and how world politics affects the US. Politics in a Changing America alternate with Changing World, concentrating on the role of minority groups as they relate to changes in the political opportunity, participation, and status of their groups.
• New! Crosstabs and IDEAlog icons appear in text margins to indicate where students can incorporate these supplements into their work so that they better understand the practical applications of the material.
• New! A marginal glossary highlights key terms and definitions.
• New! An expanded discussion of the Electoral College explains its function in detail.
• New! A full-color design provides a lively, engaging display to support concepts.
